The Civil Guard of Lanzarote and Customs Surveillance arrested on August 5 three people as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health. In a joint operation under the name PATRY2, they arrested these people for allegedly growing and producing marijuana in their own home in Costa Teguise.
The investigation began as a result of constant complaints from neighbors in a bungalow urbanization, where the home of the detainees was located, in which the neighbors were affected by the strong smells of marijuana coming from the house, resulting from the investigations, that said production was part of a network that served to supply different cannabis associations.
In addition, during the course of the investigation, numerous evidences were found in which connections with other police operations of drug cultivation already clarified previously by both police forces could be verified.
This was one of the reasons why the corresponding entry and search authorized by the head of court number 1 of Arrecife was coordinated, as there were sufficient indications to suggest that the aforementioned address was an active point of cultivation and production of marijuana and its possible derivatives.
Inside the house, a total of 118 plants of different sizes were seized, several containers containing around 1500 grams of marijuana buds prepared for sale, several pieces of self-made hashish, various jars with substances of different types inside such as hallucinogenic mushrooms or jelly beans made with derivatives of cannabis production.
In addition, for the care of indoor cultivation and the distribution of the substance, the agents located four LED lighting accumulator panels, cabinets prepared with special kits, jars of different types of seeds, seedling panels, three precision scales, gardening tools, different types of bags and wrappers of different sizes, cash and various documentation.
All these effects were seized, along with the detainees, were placed at judicial disposal, leaving the cultivation point completely dismantled, with investigations in progress, so new police actions related to the facts are not ruled out.
